Training Room:Located on the first floor with lift and disabled facilities.Equipment provided: Projector, screen and wifi access.Lap top required.

There is a code for the front door of the venue which is 34722# you will need to press this in to enter.

The training room is on the first floor, if you do not have the above code you will need to buzz in; Fire staff will let you in and then you go up the stairs to the left. The training room is on the first floor, first room on the right.

Delegates will need to ring the bell to gain access and the trainer or a delegate needs to let them in using the intercom on the wall next to the door in the training room. You can talk to the person to explain how to find the room. I would delegate his task to one of the attendees who is sitting next to the buzzer.

Do remind people to park in the long stay car park at the Spectrum sports centre. (The short stay is for 4 hours only). The trainer can park at the front of the building (I asked if I could use the disabled space as the others had been taken; I could). There are also some spaces on roads behind the Fire Station. I would suggest people do not park at Ladymead shopping as they may get a parking ticket.

There is a lift and two toilets; one of the ground floor and the other a disabled toilet on the first floor. The handle on the downstairs one needs to be fully pushed down to open and is a little stiff. As there are only two toilets I would suggest people don’t leave it to the break as this will cause difficulties in terms of timings. This may be a little disruptive but you don’t want long queues!

Trainer to take white board/marker pens, flip chart paper and lap top. You can attach the projector lead and wifi to your lap top. The equipment works well.

You may need to rearrange the tables and chairs. There are more chairs in the kitchen attached to the training room. Please return them to their original positions.

Please take milk and biscuits. (Tea, coffee and sugar are available in the kitchen)

Andy Treasure is the manager of the fire service but he may not be around. If you need any help or advice re the venue do ask whoever is there but you will be left to your own devices.

There is a Burger King at Ladymead shopping area but it is very full at lunch time. There is also a garage just up the road (opposite way to the Spectrum where parking is). Delegates have been asked to bring lunch and have parking instructions.

If the tanoy is on the switch to turn it off is behind the flip chart to the left of the door as you come in midway on the wall.

Please can the trainer ensure the room is left in the condition it was at the beginning of the training.
